Meal Plan Monday: Sept. 2-8

It’s that time of year again. The flutter of loose leaf paper and smell of sharpened, (ok, mostly broken), pencils fills the air. The first week of school is the most important of the entire year, and I need to be on my A game.

G has decided one wake up a night isn’t enough, and instead is waking regularly at 1:30, 3:30, and 5:30.* And not only does she wake up, she wants to nurse for 30 minutes, or more, at a time! This girl is normally a 3-5 minute nurser. This round the night nursing has led to an insatiable hunger, much like the one I experienced when she was a newborn. A combination of the lack of sleep + revved up supply I suppose. As a result I’m making protein packed breakfasts, like my chicken sausage breakfast burritos, to get me through the morning, and being diligent about meal planning. I’m also trying to be more creative with my leftovers, which I’ll explain below.

*sidenote, I’m now a zombie. And sock buns are the only way Iook professional these days.

Thanks for creating this link up Racheal! It inspired me to get back into my meal plan groove 🙂

Meal Plan

Tuesday: Taco Tuesday w/(L) Mexican stuffed bell pepper filling (recipe tested and approved for the blog – will be up this week) mixed with black beans. I’m looking for a good corn salad to go with – ideas?

Also, Ina went through that phase of waking up 3 times a night to nurse, which I thought was over, but happened again last night. I thought that would go away by the time she turned one, but sounds like it doesn’t? Yikes.

Can’t wait for the zucchini lime rice recipe! Have a good holiday and give that baby girl some kisses. 🙂

Hi, I’m Leila.

I'm a lactose intolerant, cheese lovin', lactaid pill poppin' foodie who loves the perfect bite. I spend way too much time in the presentation of my food and often smell like garlic. I make no apologies.
